1) Which is an example of verbal irony as spoken by Antigone?
a)"You have yourself to consider, after all."
b)"You must decide whether you will help me or not."
c)". . . and if I must die, / I say that this crime is holy . . ."
d)". . . if it means death, / It will not be the worst of deaths . . ."

1) Here is the text. I didnt quite understand your response for number 1. Can you clarify?

ismene: impossible things should not be tried at all.
antigone: go away ismene: i shall be hating you soon, and the dead will too, for your words are hateful. leave me my foolish plan: i am not afraid of the danger, if it means death, it will not be the worst of deaths-death without honor.
ismene: go then, if you feel that you must. you are unwise, but a loyal friend indeed to those who love you.

3) I really cant find this answer. My second guess would be B - soaring bird.

4) I'm not sure what the answer is for this one.

8) For 8, I thought the answer is A. Its asking for the reasons except. The didnt want to feel cowardly by faking sick. He thought that death is inescapable. The only one I am unsure of is D. I am not sure if he felt invincible. If A is wrong my next guess would definitely be D.
